Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it?

Hi. I've enjoyed my Gallo 3.5s for many years but with upgrades to the rest of my system (Gato Audio monoblocks and preamplifier) I'm wondering if I should upgrade my speakers too.

I enjoy 'interesting' speaker designs from a purely aesthetic perspective and am interested in Vivid Audio, Audiovector Trapeze Ri, Aequo Stilla, Lyngdorf CUE-100 and others. They're all very different but sound very good to my ears.

I can't audition those other speakers at home with my electronics, in my room. So I'm interested in any views on whether the Gallos have stood the test of time. Any owners out there still love them? Any who have moved on? Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Off-topic (sorry) but I see you have Gato monoblocks and if those are the PWR-222s, how do you like them?  I have been interested in them ever since my speaker manufacturer (Michael Kelly with Aerial Acoustics) became a Gato dealer (for a short while - no longer), and recommended using their amps with his speakers, and also based on this very positive review.

BTW, good luck figuring out the best thing for your speakers.  Adding two subs to already good sounding speakers was probably the biggest improvement I have made to my system in 10 years.  You have recommendations from a couple of pretty solid posters so far.
